A clear, professional Employee Handbook brings your people policies together in one accessible place, giving both managers and employees confidence in how your business operates.
We will review, create or update your policies as needed, ensuring they are compliant, consistent and aligned to your business. We also support with a smooth employee roll-out, helping embed the handbook effectively across your organisation.
A well-designed Performance Management framework ensures your people are aligned, accountable and supported to deliver results.
We build bespoke frameworks tailored to your business objectives, typically including clear policies and processes, structured appraisal cycles, performance improvement plans and, where appropriate, a performance-related pay (PRP) model. We also provide practical training for leaders to ensure consistent and effective delivery.
A structured induction and probation framework is essential to setting new starters up for success and protecting your business from risk.
In light of recent legislative changes, we design bespoke induction and probation solutions that give employees a clear, engaging introduction to your organisation, alongside defined objectives and expectations. The framework includes structured, documented review points throughout the probation period, enabling informed and timely decisions on ongoing employment.
Effectively managing absence is key to maintaining productivity and supporting employee wellbeing.
We tailor our approach to your business needs, typically starting with a detailed analysis of absence levels and underlying causes. From there, we review or implement clear policies and processes, provide hands-on support with both short-term absence patterns and more complex long-term cases, including Occupational Health input where appropriate. We also support the development of a practical Health & Wellbeing strategy to help sustain improved absence levels.
Understanding how your employees feel about their work and workplace is key to driving engagement and performance.
We design and deliver tailored Employee Opinion Surveys that provide meaningful insight into what’s working well and where improvements are needed.
Using the results, we work with you and your management team to develop a focused, practical action plan that strengthens engagement, supports retention and enhances overall business performance.
Navigating TUPE, whether acquiring or selling a business, can be complex and high risk if not managed correctly.
We provide end-to-end support throughout the TUPE process, including consultation planning and delivery, ensuring all legal requirements are met. Our approach ensures a smooth, compliant transition for employees while protecting your business throughout the transfer.
A well-designed Reward & Recognition strategy helps attract, retain and motivate the talent your business needs to succeed.
We start with a detailed review of your current offering, followed by benchmarking against comparable roles and market practice. From there, we develop tailored solutions that drive engagement and support your business objectives. Where appropriate, we also provide support in implementing benefits such as salary sacrifice schemes to enhance your overall proposition.
whatever your business needs, we work closely with you to deliver practical solutions tailored to your organisation.
Managing conflict and sensitive exits requires a balanced, compliant and commercially sound approach.
We provide expert support across complex employee relations matters, including grievances and disciplinaries, giving you confidence in your decisions while freeing up valuable management time. Our support can include independent investigations, step-by-step guidance for managers, drafting of documentation, onsite support where required, and advice on settlement agreements and protected conversations—ensuring you remain fully compliant with the relevant legal framework.
Workplace conflict, if left unresolved, can impact performance, morale and retention.
Our impartial mediation service helps resolve disputes at an early stage, before they escalate into more formal and time-consuming processes. We work with each party individually before bringing them together to explore concerns in a safe, confidential environment, with the aim of reaching a mutually agreed way forward.
Mediation is a voluntary and informal process, but with clear structure and documented outcomes. The result is a practical, workable agreement that supports improved working relationships and allows your business to move forward positively.
We are accredited, trusted and aligned with industry best practice, giving you confidence that your HR support is in safe hands.
